This guy just oooozzeess class... Look at him ! Humility, skill, patience, and a deep, deep sense that Greg can rock out with the very best. As a hired gun ? This is one of the top five guys you look up...G...
DiMarzios are the only thing I could not afford to change. I enjoy playing a lot of guitars, using a lot of amps, but guitars just don't feel THAT good without DiMarzios. Period.
@KillBloodRaven Dimarzios are very..musical pickups if that can be said.There many others who come out as super gritty or harsh or...whatever but dimarzios seem to have that balance and musicallity that everyone likes.Actually i have yet to find a dimarzio pickup i hate.
I did a video on this technique as "PAT METHENY'S Secret Technique", and several pointed out to me that Greg used it too. Pat does it in a very different way though, worth checking out!
@pppoichops its not used as a capo but used to silence strings when soloing, its a trick solo artist use live and mostly in the studio to sound allot cleaner. hope that cleared that up ;)
Fingerboard wood alone does not determine how well a pickup will work, but Air Nortons usally work perfectly well in guitars with rosewood, maple or ebony boards. If you are repalcing an active pickup, you will also have to replace the controls. 500K is the best value to try first.
It is almost always best to choose a neck pickup with a little less power than the bridge pickup. The pickups that should work best in the neck with an Air Norton in the bridge are the PAF and Air Classic neck models.
wat kind of pickups for an hss guitar wud get me a sound like greg howe i no that dimarzio makes gh pickups but those are only in his sig. laguna model any help would be great thanx..

Hi tech pickup design, huge amount of creative input on the design of the guitar, amazing guitarist, just discovered him and I really love the bridge between rock jazz and fusion that he brings, clean distorted lines with edge and tension yet fukll of melody speed and flair and yet he throws a hair band over the neck to prevent feedback through sympathetic resonance.
Mr. DiMarzio - what can you tell us about the Mesa Stiletto & Marshall cab setup? I have this same rig, and I'm curious if it's Greg's, or just what was provided for the video shoot. I'd be interested to know how he sets it up.
Hope you make a single coil version of the D-Activator soon :D I think it will make an awesome neck pickup if its in production , just throwing in some ideas Mr. Dimarzio
great...good video...first time i bought pickup was dimarzio evo for bridge and it's still the best until right now...thanks larry for making a good pickup
man, I'm totally onboard for these guitars-damn!!!! I'm a Fender/Jackson guy, but man...these kick ass too-and cheaper, they seem higher quality as well.
The video was shot while Greg's guitar was still being prototyped. One of the earlier protos had a standard Breed neck pickup, but the neck pickup in the video is an Air Norton S, which is what Greg actually approved. Sorry for the confusion.
DiMarzio was is and will be THE pickup for guitar disciples everywhere...I salute you and Greg!! I have a question concerning your line of pickups...I have been designing a fretless 7 string lead guitar and want to have a glass or crystal finger board (that is to say that the neck would still be wood) . I'm looking for a sound somewhere between Kieth Emerson's moog and Miles Davis muted trumpet....which set would fit in to this equation? Thank you, I remain a huge fan and customer!
Larry god that was great! greg is one of my favorite guitar player on earth thanks for putting up here!! Oh and thanks for making the greatest pickups on earth too!!
Awesome. As a 17 year old guitar player, I'm starting to form my major techniques and interests in artists. Greg Howe really impresses me with his originality and smoothness. He makes me put down my Pantera album momentarily and pickup some fusion ideas. Amazing!
Simply put brilliant..I'm looking for a new guitar and would love to try the laguna 924...need to see the specs. The GH5 sounds nice..I like power that you can control. Using evolutions as we speak..love the breeds as well. Harmonics. clarity, bite, and tone..Give me all that and I'm happy. Well almost. Great video. GH you awesome!!
If you want Greg's pickups right away, please call my NYC office, ask for Marie and she can make arrangements. They are custom orders right now but can sold direct.
i just got the pick up today and oh my god it is that good ,i have a lot of dimarzio pickups from air norton to fast fred breed paf pro and it goes on and on but this pickup is the holy grail ,thanx larry dimarzio thanx greg howe this pick u is the answer thanx!!!!!!
I just ordered one today. Previously the best combination I'd had was a tone zone and HfH. After some time with strats and lower output humbuckers this clip pushed me over the edge to try high output again. Sounds really great here, way to go Greg.
@LarryDiMarzio , larry thanks for the videos , but i have a question .. in the web page doesn´t appear the model GH5 of Greg, i just want to know how can i buy this pick ups, because i´m from another country and i would like to buy them, thanks for making great pick ups!!
